trunking
Hi I have two HP/COMPAQ Proliant 360 that have two 10/100/1000 Broadcom ethernet interfaces. I would like to trunk the two interfaces to an Extreme Networks Summit 5i that support trunking. Is it possible to trunk the interfaces with FreeBSD ( 4.9-R ) ?

I don't use FreeBSD! I'm only here because I want to get a diskless freebsd box booting.

burncd question
Greetings all, I have used the burncd tool many a time to burn audio cd's from wav's, however recently I have been having problems. I have recorded some wav files using audio/audacity. A nice lil multitrack editor. All I want to do is burn them to cd. So if I do this (as I always have): burncd -s max audio file.wav fixate It does indeed burn a cd. But the audio is much faster than it should be. Why is this? I have tryed this on two machines running freebsd-5.2-release and they both have the same output. My wav is 32 bit at a sample rate of 44100. I have also tryed converting to a 16 bit wav, but the outcome is the same. Is there something I have overlooked?

broken pkgdb
Greetings all, I hope someone might be able to help me out. My computer crashed while I was doing a portupgrade -arR. It seems that the +CONTENTS file was lost for 100 installed packages. Following advice from various mailing lists, I've tried rebuilding the pkgdb with pkgdb -Fu (didn't fix problem) and creating empty +CONTENTS files where they were deleted and rebuilding with pkgdb -Fu (pkg_info runs okay, but pkg_version reports each package "does not appear to be a valid package!"). Others suggested deleting and reinstalling the invalid packages, but I'm reluctant to do this for 100 packages. Is there any other way? Thanks for your help. David __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: IMAP server and client recommendations?
Danny MacMillan a écrit : Is it feasible to use the IMAP server as a mail storage solution like this? Can anyone recommend a good IMAP server (for FreeBSD of course) and give me some tips on considerations for choosing one? I blush to say it, but I've never even had an IMAP account. Thanks in advance. Hello Danny I administer the mailhub of our site (http://www.esiee.fr) we use UW imap server for all of our 2500 users. We are an engineers school in electronics and have about 2000 students that use different machines/OS inside the school. The machine is a COMPAQ Proliant 360 with 2.5 Gb RAM and _a lot_ of disk space. The main advantage of imap is the emails stay on the server and every user can access its mailboxes from anywhere and find the same "environnement" when accessing from different machines. The main problem is disk space if you have many users but thoses days harddisks are cheap. Also think to a method to bachup mailboxes. We also use an old webmail that access emails thru IMAP. Speaking about formats mbox or maildir For historical reasons we use mbox but if I have to build a new Imap server I think I'll choose maildir which is slower to access but more safe "one file per email" this is of course a personnal thought.

One of the points about the -RELEASE branches is that they are guarranteed *not* to have any new functionality introduced. Updates are limited to bugfixes, generally for security bugs only. Now, you are running the latest patchlevel on the 4.9-RELEASE branch, which means that all known bugs in OpenSSL and OpenSSH will have been fixed. However *only* the bugs have been fixed. There haven't been any patches to add features, neither have there been any patches to modify version numbers. Naive security scanners that *just* look at the version numbers of installed packages will tell you incorrectly that you have a problem. If you want the newer versions of those packages, then you have two choices. You can install them from ports, or you can upgrade to and track a different FreeBSD source branch. If you install from ports, there is a facility for you to install the port in such a way as to overwrite the equivalents in the base system. You can certainly do this if you want, but think carefully before doing so. Overwriting bits of the base system will make it harder for you to do regular upgrades. Otherwise, if you choose to upgrade to a different source branch, you will need to choose one of the development branches in order to get new versions of stuff -- that either 4-STABLE or 5-CURRENT. But 5-CURRENT is not really suitable for any use other than developing the system. 4-STABLE is quite close to winding down, and it's not planned to import the very latest versions of OpenSSH etc: the upcoming 4.10-RELEASE will probably be the last release branched from there, and that will have OpenSSH 3.5p1. Other packages may well get updates though. 5-STABLE is planned coincident with 5.3-RELEASE, which is the next release planned to happen after 4.10.

Re: IMAP server and client recommendations?

The thought that immediately occurred to me was that one of the standard Unix formats -- mbox or maildir -- would be appropriate for this task. After scouring the internet for possibilities for converting between the hated .pst format and mbox or Maildir, I found a few people who'd seemingly hit upon an ideal solution: add an IMAP folder to Outlook and copy their mail to that folder, then do the reverse inside a client that stores its mail in mbox or maildir format. Then it struck me -- =leaving= the mail in the IMAP server would give me even more flexibility. Is it feasible to use the IMAP server as a mail storage solution like this?

Keeping Ports synchronised with Packages
Hi all, I am getting the impression that I am using the ports and packages system the wrong way, but can't find a good tutorial on how to use them to their best. I would be quite happy to write one up, but I need to understand it first! My problem is that my ports tree is always a couple of minor versions ahead of the available packages. (I use `cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile` as suggested in the handbook) If I add a program with e.g. #portinstall gaim it compiles it from source, and updates a load of libraries and dependent ports to the current versions. This means I have a load of libraries that are different versions to those the precompiled packages expect, and some packages even refuse to install. I end up having to install more and more things from the ports, which is slooow (do you have any idea how long it takes to compile kde?) and creates even more problems if I try to use a package. What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to hold back cvsup to the same version as the packages on FreeBSD.org? On a related note, where do the errors from sysinstall go? It refers to the "debug screen" but I can't find it on any terminal. What about if you run it in a konsole or xterm? Any pointers would be much appreciated.

One of the points about the -RELEASE branches is that they are guarranteed *not* to have any new functionality introduced. Updates are limited to bugfixes, generally for security bugs only. Now, you are running the latest patchlevel on the 4.9-RELEASE branch, which means that all known bugs in OpenSSL and OpenSSH will have been fixed. However *only* the bugs have been fixed. There haven't been any patches to add features, neither have there been any patches to modify version numbers. Naive security scanners that *just* look at the version numbers of installed packages will tell you incorrectly that you have a problem. If you want the newer versions of those packages, then you have two choices. You can install them from ports, or you can upgrade to and track a different FreeBSD source branch. If you install from ports, there is a facility for you to install the port in such a way as to overwrite the equivalents in the base system. You can certainly do this if you want, but think carefully before doing so. Overwriting bits of the base system will make it harder for you to do regular upgrades. Otherwise, if you choose to upgrade to a different source branch, you will need to choose one of the development branches in order to get new versions of stuff -- that either 4-STABLE or 5-CURRENT. But 5-CURRENT is not really suitable for any use other than developing the system. 4-STABLE is quite close to winding down, and it's not planned to import the very latest versions of OpenSSH etc: the upcoming 4.10-RELEASE will probably be the last release branched from there, and that will have OpenSSH 3.5p1. Other packages may well get updates though. 5-STABLE is planned coincident with 5.3-RELEASE, which is the next release planned to happen after 4.10.

Samba's broke....
Hi all, Have a question for you that I've tried to search on google with no real luck. The issue is that I've tried to get BackupExec 9.1 to back up my Samba 2.2.8a file-server. In the GUI I can select the files/folders I want to back up, etc and all looks good. But when it comes time to run the backup job, I get a "cannot attach to drive" error. Now, I've looked through my Samba logs on the file-server, and can only find this one error message (over and over).

advice sought on tape backups with cyrus-imap
Hi, all: Hoping for a "reality check" from anyone on the list with experience in doing tape backups with cyrus-imap: I've got FBSD 5.2.1REL acting as a mail server running cyrus-imap and wondering what the best (read: safest) method of backing up user mailboxes to tape might be. Can I just dump/restore everything under /var/imap or is there more to it than this, considering the mailboxes are stored in cyrus db format? Does this matter when it comes time to restore?

The sort of stuff that tends to have the best support is generally the 'quality' end of the market -- server class motherboards, NICs with chipsets produced by well known manufacturers, SCSI controllers, various ATA RAID controllers and so forth. Things that tend to be more troublesome are the more 'consumer' oriented end of the market, particularly stuff that is really very new on the market, stuff that is intended for use only under Windows and so that plays fast and loose with standards. The components that are supported under FreeBSD are documented to some extent in the man pages for the various drivers: eg. the quite popular 3COM 3C940 gigabit ethernet adapotors are documented as working with the sk(4) driver. Often there will be other models using a similar chipset that also work, but which aren't listed. Knowing exactly what is and is not supported is really a matter of experience. As is knowing what works really well, and what is a bit so-so. These sort of things are discussed on many of the FreeBSD mailing lists quite regularly. As a systems integrator you should have ready access to components from any number of suppliers: experimentation will give you the best information about what does and does not work. > We decide to use Intel 7501CW with dual xeon and Tecram TX2000 > card, but Intel techsupport says that this hardware didn't tested with > FreeBSD and we can use it at our own risk... Unfortunately almost all big manufacturers will say things like that. What they mean is that *they* didn't write any drivers (because they didn't think that FreeBSD was popular enough to justify the expense) so don't come crying to them if 3rd party stuff doesn't work. Some of the more pointy-haired management class use this as a justification for not using FreeBSD, ignoring the facts, which are that the drivers written by the 3rd parties (in this case various FreeBSD developers) are often more reliable and better performing than what the manufacturers turn out themselves.

I want to keep my programs up to date, and I want to use precompiled versions as much as possible because it can take hours to compile a large program. However some programs don't have packages, or the packages won't install because I have used the ports system and other, required, programs are out of sync. If I use `portupgrade -PP` (i.e. forcing it to use packages) it (almost) always fails because there are never precompiled packages of the same version as my (cvsup'ed) ports tree. In the same way, `portupgrade -P` (i.e. try to use packages) is equivalent to `portupgrade` (i.e. compile from source) because of the version lag in the packages as compared to the ports. One solution might be to get cvsup to check out slightly older versions of the port tree that matches up with the available packages. However this doesn't seem possible.

newbie question: Gnome 2.6 upgrade
I finally came to my senses and got a copy of FreeBSD about a week ago. I'm very compitent in window$ and DOS, and wanted to start in on something new. I've been toying with BSD for a while and I'm getting to know my way around. I'm having trouble upgrading to gnome 2.6. I had gnome 2.4 installed and running just fine. I cvsup'd with the ports-supfile, and ran the gnome_upgrade.sh file. It pondered the meaning of life until well after I left for work. When I came home, I saw it was at the login prompt. There were some messages that I assume have to deal with renewing DHCP leases with my cable modem, but I logged in as normal. there was nothing indicating a troubled install. Since running cvsup and the upgrade, I can't run startx like I used to. It used to run regardless of what directory I was in, and now I have to be in /usr/X11R6/bin to run it. when I run it, I get the same message as usual that says it can't contact some host server and I ned to add a line into my /etc/hosts file. I've always gotten that one, even when 2.4 was running perfectly smoothly. a terminal window comes up right away after that message when gnome starts as it begins loading it's components at the splash screen. it hangs on "window manager" but eventually gets to the desktop with the terminal window still open. I can't run any applications at all. it says that the indicated file is nowhere to be found. I can run the files, epiphany for example, from the terminal window and they run just fine as far as I can tell. I'm sure there's some painfully obvious thing I haven't done, but I can't tell what it is. I've followed the upgrade instructions to the letter, but apaprently I'm not cool enough to pull it off. sorry for the longwindedness. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: What is PPPoed?
I believe it's dialup service for DSL lines (Point to Point Protocol over ethernet daemon? Just a wild guess though) So if you have a DSL line which requires the user to dial in, you'll need PPPoed.

This assumes that the binary package registered the application with the package database. If you're using third-party, binary packages that do not register themselves with the package database, keeping applications in sync will probably become a manual process. 'portupgrade -arRP' will upgrade all of the installed packages where it can find a binary package or the related port, with a preference for binary packages. If it completes successfully, your packages (binary and port) should be in sync. As long as you don't update your ports tree, it should be easy to keep them in sync. Yes, this can take a long time. To shorten the process, I pkg_delete Open Office and few other huge packages prior to portupgrade. I then manually install the newer binaries after everything else has been upgraded.

RE: newbie question: Gnome 2.6 upgrade
I would run portversion -v | grep "<" and make sure everything was upgraded to start with. If all the gnome and X11 related stuff appears to be upgraded, it might be hard to track down which build was at fault. I think the gnome upgrade script made a logfile in tmp. I would check to see if there is one there and if so see what happened. Did you have x11 running when you tried the upgrade?

RE: IMAP server and client recommendations?
I have had good luck with uw-imap and dovecot. Dovecot seems to work better in FreeBSD 5.21 though. I had problems with uw-imap crashing. Dovecot is arguably more secure. The main drawback to dovecot is that it allows multiple clients access to a mailbox at once. It works great for well behaved clients but MacOS X's mail.app occasionaly screws up when deleting and downloading new messages simultaneously with dovecot. It never occurred with uw-imapd. As for clients, I use mail.app on OSX, pine on the road through ssh (or when booted into FreeBSD at home), and Outlook 2003. I had a lot of trouble with Office XP's imap support, but it seems much better in 2003. Mozilla works ok as well. Old versions of netscape mail didn't handle deleting messages very cleanly. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Yes -- that's the correct terminology. But there's no real difference other than that: the pkg is built by compiling the port, and you can freely mix software derived from either source on your system. > I want to keep my programs up to date, and I want to use precompiled versions > as much as possible because it can take hours to compile a large program. > However some programs don't have packages, or the packages won't install > because I have used the ports system and other, required, programs are out of > sync. Absolutely. Now, where are you getting the pre-compiled packages from? If it's from one of the 4-Disk FreeBSD CD Rom sets, then yes, you're going to have problems with file versions as there have been updates to a number of major software systems gone into the ports tree in the 4 months or so since 4.9-RELEASE. On the other hand, if you're downloading the packages from the ftp sites, you should be within a week or two of the latest versions. Take a look at, eg: http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/Latest/ (if you want to access that server for your FTP'ing needs, it's also known as ftp2.uk.freebsd.org) That shows you all of the packages for 4-STABLE that have been updated since 4.9-RELEASE came out. (There's a similar directory structure for the 5.x packages). Looks like there was a new batch produced on 11th April, including the KDE packages: http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/Latest/kde.tgz That gets you kde-3.2.1_1 The ports tree is currently at kde-3.2.2 -- like you say, a minor version number behind. Unfortunately, that's just the way things are: the project only has a limited capacity to keep compiling new packages when ports get updated, especially since they're producing packages for both 4.x and 5.x at the moment. Also, sometime soon the new package set for 4.10-RELEASE will be produced, which means compiling *everything* in the ports tree from scratch. You should be able to get all of the dependencies of KDE etc. as precompiled packages -- using: # pkg_add -r kde will try and download everything required. I should note that you're particularly unlucky right now with both KDE and Gnome having gone through some major updates just recently. Usually the lag between the port coming out and the updated package doesn't affect such a large proportion of all of the available ports/packages. > If I use `portupgrade -PP` (i.e. forcing it to use packages) it (almost) > always fails because there are never precompiled packages of the same version > as my (cvsup'ed) ports tree. > > In the same way, `portupgrade -P` (i.e. try to use packages) is equivalent to > `portupgrade` (i.e. compile from source) because of the version lag in the > packages as compared to the ports. > > One solution might be to get cvsup to check out slightly older versions of the > port tree that matches up with the available packages. However this doesn't > seem possible. As someone else commented, you can hold various packages inside pkgtools.conf -- that means portupgrade won't even attempt to upgrade them. Or you can tell portupgrade that you want certain ports to be installed either preferentially or exclusively via packages -- see the section in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf on USE_PKGS and USE_PKGS_ONLY. If you enter the names of the really big packages that you never want to spend time compiling in one or other of those arrays, then you can let portupgrade upgrade everything else around them. You will find that certain ports are marked as 'ignored' if they depend on a port where there isn't the latest version of a package available yet, but that includes a lot of ports that wouldn't need to be upgraded anyhow. You can certainly check out a backdated version of the ports tree via cvsup(1) -- eg. to get the ports tree from 1st April just add: *default date=2004.04.01.12.00 to your supfile.

Does there need to be a separate partition for vinum that has at least enough space for configuration, which doesn't overlap with anything else ? Is the rest of vinum partition supposed to overlap with everything that I want to configure as a plex ( I'm talking about mirroring exisiting partitions ) Or should there be 2 different vinum partitions, one for configuration and another one for plexes ?

You could use the '-n' option to have portupgrade give you a report on which packages need upgrading without actually doing any upgrading. Then, rather than use the '-a' option for all packages, you could name specific packages to upgrade. You'll probably still want to use the '-rR' options to sync dependencies.

Matrox "mga_hal" driver in 5.2.1?
Has anyone gotten the mga_hal code to compile cleanly under freebsd 5.2.1/i386? I downloaded the 'nix distribution for that, as well as the source for their powerdesk utility from the Matrox website, but haven't had much luck getting the drivers to compile. The driver distribution doesn't include an autoconf utility, so I suspect it may come down to extensive surgery on the Makefile to get it to look for required headers and libraries in the right places. I don't know if the powerdesk distribution is more polished or not - haven't seen a reason to mess with it until I get the drivers built... If anyone has specific familiarity with this driver set, please let me know. The card I'm using is a Matrox G450 PCI and I'm trying to get the HAL functionality working so I can do dualhead and/or TV output.

A friend of mine does not have a 24/7 DSL line. He needs to dial-in into his DSL connection before he has internet. Perhaps it does not exist in your country, or you are unaware of it, but I am sure that it does exists. Here is a quote from the first line of the pppoed man page: The pppoed utility listens to the given interface for PPP over Ethernet PPPoE) service request packets, and actions them by negotiating a ses- sion then invoking a ppp(8) program. I don't really find it that hard to understand though. It makes perfect sense with what I said. It uses PPP (Dial-in) over ethernet.(PPPoe) A modem does not use an ethernet line, as far as I know. (Modem is a simple telephone line, using RJ-11 connectors. Ethernet uses RJ-45 connectors) So it has to be a utility to dial into a permanent DSL line, since you can't dial into a cable modem. For a regular modem connection you just use the PPP utility.

I'll track down that logfile and check it out. I didn't have X11 running at the time, since I figured it might have to upgrade some components that X11 runs on.

RE: being DOSed
I have found some IPs are opening 10 HTTP connection. Their IPs are Changing and all IPs are from different ISP network. What should I do next? Thanks Meimi I'd suggest putting a firewall on another server, if you are being DDOS'd. Most people don't realize this, but your average old crunch Pentium I or MMX CPU has a lot more horse power than the average high end router that has nearly the same name as my vegetable shortening. Take anything you have and make it into something running a firewall or proxy which can filter the traffic to your web server. IMHO if you web server is already straining under a load from all the inbound traffic, you might not want to add a firewall to that box since it might not handle the additional load of inspecting all the packets/network connections. I would suggest making some changed to your httpd.conf as well. Since you're posting to the FreeBSD list, I'm assuming that you're using Apache. While what I'm suggesting won't help with making the actual DDOS'ing stop but it can help to keep your server from crashing due to the load. Most DDOS's against a web site occur by having a utility that opens a connection to your web server and then leave it hanging - waiting for an additional response from the client connection. That being the case, there are quite a few things you can do to change how your web server responds and processes those requests. In this situation, your best friends are the TimeOut & KeepAliveTimeout directives - turn those puppies down. You'll cause some legit users to get timed out but it will also cause the DDOS requests to time out faster as well. That said, you'll also probably want to edit some of the other directives in your httpd.conf as well. I didn't see a mention of which version of apache you are running, so I'm going to mention things I've found useful in the past. You can set the MaxClients directive down so that your server will stop accepting so many incoming sessions. When you go to set it back up (after all this is over), be careful not to set it to something over 256 unless you have compiled special options in to your apache installation. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you haven't done it. You can also set the MaxKeepAliveRequests to something low. Setting the MaxRequestsPerChild to something low will cause the spawned child processes to be killed off and restarted fairly frequenly. If you are seeing anyting involving escalating memory usage, this can be quite helpful. You should also probably MaxSpareServers so that any unused processes are dying on their own. I've found that limiting the MinSpareServers to be useful in stopping more children from spawning when the server is under an undesirable high load. Depending on your version, you may also be able to set ThreadsPerChild, RLimitNPROC directive, RLimitMEM directive, RLimitCPU directive to limit system resource utilization. If you're already being DOS'd, you may also want to consider setting the port directive to something other than 80 as least for now.

Dummynet+Firewall+One_pass question
Hi,
I am very new to FreeBSD, and I have a quite simple question: How does IPFW
work when I use PIPES, divert and some other Firewall rules?
What does net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass mean? For instance, if I use a pipe before
a divert with one_pass set to 1, the packet passes through the pipe, but
does not pass through the divert and that makes total sense. However if I
set one_pass to 1 and set the pipe after the divert using the internal IP
address ( RFC 1918 ) it works that does not make any sense, at least to
me. :)
Here are some sample rules:
# INTERNAL NETWORK
${fwcmd} pipe 1000 config bw 1024Kbit/s

${fwcmd} add pipe 1039 ip from any to 10.0.0.0/8
If I set the way above, it works fine, even if the one_pass is set to 1 (
one ). The divert changes the packet header to my external IP, and my real
question is: How in the world the pipe works if the header is changed to
200, instead of 10?
THIS WAY IT DOES NOT WORK WITH ONE_PASS SET TO 1, it passes through the
pipe, but does not pass through the divert:
# INTERNAL NETWORK
${fwcmd} pipe 1000 config bw 1024Kbit/s
${fwcmd} pipe 1001 config bw 1024Kbit/s
${fwcmd} add pipe 1038 ip from 10.0.0.0/8 to any
${fwcmd} add pipe 1039 ip from any to 10.0.0.0/8
${fwcmd} add divert natd all from 10.0.0.0/8 to any
${fwcmd} add divert natd all from any to 200.x.x.x
I deeply appreciate any ideas.
Sincerely,
Marcelo Pinheiro

It can't be from a previous versions, I did a complete new installation of FBSD on this machine. I diff-ed the two and there were no differences.

Sil0680 causes panic on 5.2.1-p5.
Hi, I've just bought a Silicon Image Sil 0680 RAID controller. I will only be using it as an IDE controller (i.e. without any RAID functionality). This causes a panic on 5.2.1-p5 (GENERIC): atapci1: port 0xcc00-0xcc0f,0xd000-0xd003,0xd400-0xd407, 0xd800-0xd803, 0xdc00-0xdc07 mem 0xcfffbf00-0xcfffbfff irq 5 at device 9.0 on pic0 atapci1: [MPSAFE] Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode cpuid = 0, apic id = 00 fault virtual address = 0xd12f8000 fault code = supervisor write, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc04d2627 stack pointer = 0x10:0xc219a0 frame pointer = 0x10:0xc219ac code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xf, type = 0x1b = DPL 0, pres1, def32 1, grain 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 0 (swapper) trap number = 12 cpuid = 0; As you can see I just wrote this down and typed it up (so there may be errors!). If somebody needs meaningful numbers please ask me and I will go over and double-check everything. I have tried the obvious things -- removing other PCI devices, etc. I was unable to disable the onboard IDE controller because this card doesn't seem to support booting. The twist is this: there is no panic if I boot 4.9-rc4 (disk1, install) or 5.1-RELEASE (disk1, install). It is specific to 5.2.1-p5 (or at least between 5.1-R and this). I verified this with a GENERIC kernel (compiled by me) and a custom kernel (unneeded devices removed and some firewall stuff added). Please ask for any details -- I've not included a dmesg since it would be of the machine without the card plugged in. I can provide anything (but I've not used kernel debugging before). Any help with this would be much appreciated, -lewiz. -- I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. --Bob Dylan, 1964. -| msn:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | url:www.lewiz.org |- pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Home server upgrade 4.9 -> 5.2.1, drop in hard disk or network performance?
Hello everyone! I just upgraded my home server frmo 4.9-R-p3 to 5.2.1-R after having a few problems with modems and random hard lockups(?). Well, first off the upgrade didn't solve this and I can still reliably make the box freeze with a new modem I bought which I hoped would cure the problem... when infact it's 10x worse with that modem :o) Has anyone got any ideas as to what could be causing this? The network card for the internal side is an fxp card and the network card the modem is attached to is an older 10megabit vx card (3com Etherlink III). I can't really think of any other information to provide right now but I really would be grateful for some prompting of more info and a bit of help! My last few emails to questions about the hard lock ups didn't get any replies if I remember rightly :o) Aside from that, I just copied a 400 meg file over samba and it really did seem incredibly slow compared to when it was running 4.9. It took agess to untar the backup 1.5gig file too! Is there anything I am supposed to tweak here? I am thinking about just reinstalling 4.9 again but I would like to avoid that if I can, as it would be alot of time wasted :o) I don't have any numbers for this unfortuantly either, it just feels and seems a hell of alot slower! For instance, when I was copying this file and tried to ssh in from my windows machine it just sat there for ages doing (apparently) nothing!

Interesting one. You've had a trap in the clock interrupt code, which
suggests some type of memory corruption. This could be difficult to
debug.

As shown on page 45 and 46, the frame you're looking for is the one
below trap. This is the code at frame 0, showing how the system
dumps. It's not related to the problem. Take a look at page 46 and
send me the information for frame 6.
I'm omitting the dmesg output, the log file extract and the ps output.
None are interesting at this stage.

It'll be going for a while yet. The smart thing to do on slow hardware is to install from packages. Kris pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

When you go into pine's setup interface, what value do you have set for
inbox-path? Does it point to /var/mail/{user}? Is there actually any
mail in /var/mail/{user}?

improper mounting of firewire hard disk crashes system
Hi all, I tried to mount my Firewire Hard disk; but this was taking a long time, I killed off KDE (CTRL+ALT+BACK_SPACE), and from root prompt rebooted the machine. Then: fsck -Bv / fsck -Bv /usr fsck -Bv /tmp fsck -Bv /var fsck -Bv /home Then I tried to mount the firewire hard disk. When I do this, I got a series of characters printed on terminal, and a message that the computer will be reeboted in 15 seconds. What went wrong and how can I begin to use my firewire disk? I am not able to post the output cos, I don't know how. Thanks in advance Tk Yahoo! Messenger - Communicate instantly..."Ping" your friends today!

Have you tried using the internal rotation code in apache? this excerpt from "man rotatelogs" should provide more information rotatelogs is a simple program for use in conjunction with Apache's piped logfile feature which can be used like this: TransferLog "| rotatelogs /path/to/logs/access_log 86400" This creates the files /path/to/logs/access_log. where is the system time at which the log nominally starts (this time will always be a multiple of the rotation time, so you can synchronize cron scripts with it). At the end of each rotation time (here after 24 hours) a new log is started. Logging is internal to apache, and doesn't require apache to be restarted.

Booting Q.
What is the command to make a bootable disk for FreeBSD? I need it in case I screw up my latest project. I have a dual OS set-up running BSD and Fedora C1. Fedora only boots from a floppy disk and doesn't show up as bootable when trying to boot from FreeBSD boot loader. Both partitions are primary. How do I get Fedora to become "bootable". When I fix Fedora does the FreeBSD boot utility have an OS finder (like Acronis BL)? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Booting Q.
Which OS did you install first? Fedora/FreeBSD ? I've FreeBSD first and then RH9. The Grub Seems to load the FBSD without any problem.

And does it compress > the log files as well? No, but it isn't hard to come up with a script to proces the logs in any way you see fit. Regardless of what you choose to do to the logs, you don't have to restart apache, which I thought was the main object of your question. The main advantage to doing it this way is that the logs will be pretty much rotated simultaneously by apache, so a couple of minutes after it's scheduled, you can run a script to compress, analyse, delete or whatever the rotated logfile.
